Satyrium titus, coral hairstreak butterfly, on Pycnanthemum muticum, clustered mountain-mint, in my garden, July 2018
This seems to be an uncommon butterfly. ~~This is first iNaturalist observation of this species in Brooklyn (Kings County), New York. On BugGuide, it's the second; the first was in 2009.~~
